Ingredients

  • 16 oz bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1 large shallot
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Prepare
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add coleslaw mix to a food processor and pulse a few times to chop the cabbage and carrots a bit.
  2. Gather a large mixing bowl (one that has a lid is great, otherwise you'll need some foil or plastic wrap).
Make the dressing
  1. To the large mixing bowl, add mayo, sugar, buttermilk, whole milk, lemon juice and vinegar. Whisk until smooth and combined.
Grate shallot
  1. Peel the shallot, then grate with a box grater over the bowl with the dressing.
Toss and combine
  1. To the bowl, add chopped coleslaw mix. Toss until well combined and coated.
Chill
  1. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or longer if you prefer a softer coleslaw.
Serve
  1. Before serving, toss/stir coleslaw once more to redistribute any dressing that may have settled at the bottom of the bowl. Then serve chilled, with a sprinkle of extra pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Please feel free to adjust the sugar amount to your tastes.
  • Apple cider, white wine, or red wine vinegar can be used in place of white vinegar if you prefer.
  • If you don't have a food processor, or would rather not use one, you can just use a sharp knife to chop the cabbage and carrots to a finer texture.
  • I've estimated this recipe serves about 6, but feel free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
